Please review the email below as well as both its attachments and the revised 340B Flowchart attached carefully.Also please share this within your organizations.

As you may recall we talked in some detail regarding this project in the December Technical Consortium meeting, and the revised flowchart reflects a few clarifications/changes that have come up since that time.  

This topic will be on the agenda again for the January Technical Consortium meeting (tentatively scheduled for the 31st), however please send any questions, comments, etc… you may have prior to the meeting and we'll respond as we receive them.  

Thank you.

Subject:	340B Payment Methodology - Memo

Happy new year to you all!  

Attached for your information is a memo from Dr. Leib regarding the 340B payment methodology change that we have discussed at prior CEO meetings.  There have been a few changes since our last discussion so please read this memo carefully.  Lori Petre will be sending this on to your technical staff with additional detail.   We will also have this item on the January CEO meeting agenda.

The final 340B rules should be posted on the AHCCCS website next week. Here is the link to the page on our website listing the Final Rules: 
http://www.azahcccs.gov/reporting/state/unpublishedrules.aspx
We expect the Secretary of State to publish these rules in the Arizona Administrative Register on 1/27/12.

Please let me know if you have questions at this time.

Shelli
